Flashlight is rather needed since sometimes you have to set off early in the morning and back to your hotel till late at night.

Multifunctional Cross-shaped Knife could be used to peel the fruits, open the drinks and canned food.
Enough Cash: There are only few banks in Lhasa and Shigatse such as Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Agricultural Bank of China due to the limited conditions. Thus tourists are suggested to take enough cash instead of credit card. You can exchange for cash in such banks but foreign currency exchanging service only offered by Bank of China and a few hotels. It’s not convenient to withdraw money in other area of Tibet and even only cash can be accepted.

While in travel
High Altitude Sickness: The high altitude sickness is a normal phenomenon on plateau, and you shouldn’t be too worried about it. Generally, these symptoms would disappear in one or two days after you adapt to the plateau environment. You should sleep enough and drink much water.
